is there a functionality (or planned functionality) in bacula to allow 
two or more server instances work in a way similar to a cluster ?

that would probably include two separate instances of director, storage 
daemon and database that would be able to share/sync information about 
jobs and job data.

file daemons would probably have two director access configured, with a 
way to set a "preferred" one, which would always contact particular 
client, except in cases when the preferred one is down.

with an older version of bacula i have now, failed first server would 
require manual reconfiguring of all clients, and it also requires 
syncing data separately from bacula.

in case of geographically distributed servers there also is no way to 
tell backup jobs to go to a particular server first, so there's 
increased network traffic as well.

i've searched documentation and mailing list archives, but best i could 
find was about clustered services backup.
